Chapter 503 Exhausted From Running Around
Among all, Nathaniel was the most composed. He didn't say anything, just patiently waiting for his master's lecture.
Narma glanced at the drifting snow, then turned his attention to the other disciples. Afterward, he asked Nathaniel, "What do you think, Nathaniel?"
Nathaniel solemnly said, "Master, even just the primordial spirit of the divine being is already so formidable. If things truly come to a head, I fear the peace of Pollerton will be disrupted in the future."
Joanna spoke with a touch of resentment, "But do we really have to swallow our pride like this?"
Judas, the second senior disciple standing nearby, said, "But don't forget that Lynn actually showed us mercy this time. If she hadn't, we would all be dead by her hand."
The countenance of Narma was serene, he appeared somewhat kind and benevolent.
"Wu Chen, please continue!" said the Narma.
Nathaniel said, "Master, Jonathan has already fled. I believe it's not in our best interest to continue making an enemy of Her Holiness. Instead, we should focus on capturing Jonathan and resolving the matter of Lerton as soon as possible."
Narma gave a slight smile and said, "Are you suggesting that we should just let bygones be bygones on whatever happened with Lynn today?"
Nathaniel said, "Considering today's events, Lynn has already shown mercy. Since both sides have
their reservations, it would be wise to let go of this issue."
Joanna was indignant, and about to say something when Narma spoke, "Joanna, there's no need to say more. I understand your thoughts. However, you are too impulsive, you should learn more from your seniors." He paused, then continued, "This time, I sent you to find Lynn. This was done for the people of Lerton to see. If I really intended to deal with Lynn, I would have done it myself. Since Lynn has spared you, it's not appropriate to stir up more conflict. This doesn't mean that I fear Supreme Sect or Lynn. It's a matter of cost! Is it worth it to drag the entire Pollerton into such a large conflict just to vent your anger?"
Joanna was suddenly at a loss for words, her cheeks flushing red as she said, "It is indeed my mistake."
Just then, a streak of light flew across the sky.
Narma and everyone looked up as the streak of light flew toward them. Then, the light came to a halt right in front of everyone, revealing itself to be Mona.
Upon seeing this woman, Joanna's anger flared up instantly. The rage she had been suppressing surged forth, as she snapped at Mona, "You wretched woman! How dare you show up here?"
Mona's gaze was cold and icy, her personality sharply opposed to Joanna's. Mona found it quite frustrating to deal with someone like her, who was incompetent yet had a big temper. It was truly a troublesome situation. If it weren't for the backing of Narma, this woman would have met her end countless times.
But at that moment, Narma had already lost his temper. "Joanna, you're out of line. Apologize to Her
Holiness immediately!"
Joanna felt wronged, but upon seeing how her usually kind master was unusually furious, her heart trembled. In the end, she reluctantly apologized to Mona.
With a calm gaze, Mona said lightly, "You should consider yourself lucky to have a good master. Otherwise, given the number of times you've crossed me, there's no way you would have survived until now."
Joanna was feeling frustrated, but for now, all she could do was listen.
In a way, Mona and Joanna were not of the same generation. Mona was on par with Narma. Even if Nathaniel met Mona, he would have to respectfully address her as "Your Holiness".
In short, Joanna was indeed rude. It was also due to the excessive pampering from her seniors that fostered this unruly character.
"Just leave us," commanded Narma, chiding Joanna.
With a sense of helplessness, Joanna said, "Yes, Master. I will take my leave now!"
With a sense of helplessness, Joanna said, "Yes, Master. I will take my leave now!"
After that, she left.
Narma turned his gaze toward Mona, a faint smile playing on his lips. He said, "The arrival of Your
Holiness is an honor for Brightspring Island. I kindly invite Your Holiness to visit Heavenly Cave for a chat!"
Although Mona's gaze was usually haughty, she showed the respect she ought to have when facing Narma. "I apologize for my abrupt visit. There have been some misunderstandings with your disciples in the past, and I have prepared a small compensation." After she finished speaking, she took out a number of magical items from the original Holy Scripture all at once.
These treasures were all extraordinary, such as a sword, a command card, a spear, and a mirror, among others!
These treasures made the eyes of Nathaniel and his juniors light up, and they couldn't help but feel amazed. Supreme Sect, being the number one sect in the world, indeed had a wealth of resources. The compensation they casually offered was already incredibly impressive.
Narma was not one for formalities. He told Nathaniel and the others, "These are the reward from Her Holiness. Shouldn't you all express your gratitude?"
Nathaniel and the others immediately did as told.
Subsequently, Narma gracefully descended from Sky Peak. He made a gesture of invitation and said, "Please, Your Holiness!"
Nodding thoughtfully, he immediately followed behind Narma.
Progenitor Cave was indeed a paradise, filled with immortal spirits. The furnishings were meticulously chosen, and in some areas, flowers and trees provide pleasant shade.
The venerable Narma led Mona toward the main mansion, then they took their respective seats as host and guest. Afterward, a young servant brought the tea.
Nathaniel and the others were also accompanying them on the side.
After all this, Narma finally said, "I presume Her Holiness's visit isn't solely to bestow these magical items upon my unworthy disciples, is it?"
Mona was not one to beat around the bush, she said, "I know that Master's Heavenly Compass knows all things in the world. I came today to ask Master to help me find that little thief, Jonathan. As long as Master can help me capture this person, I will be really grateful!"
In truth, Narma had already guessed the reason for Mona's visit. With a slight smile, he said, "So it's about this matter. However, Jonathan has caused a great disaster in Lerton, breaking its rules. I was also planning to find him, but I cannot hand him over to you, Your Holiness."
He paused for a moment, then said, "I understand Your Holiness has your reasons. But we have to respect the rules of Lerton. These rules simply cannot be broken."
Mona lowered her gaze and said, "Master, does this mean you won't cooperate with me?"
Narma said, "This Jonathan has already fled, and I have no desire to have any dispute with you, Your Holiness. How about this? Whoever finds him first will get him. After this, no one should stir up any trouble. Your Holiness, what do you think?"
With a stern look on Mona's face, she said, "Master, you have Heavenly Compass. How could I
possibly be as fast as you?"
Narma said, "In the interest of fairness, I will search again after a day. Would that be acceptable to you, Your Holiness?"
Narma had indeed been giving in to her request.
Mona took a deep breath, she knew that whatever she said next would be pointless. Therefore, she simply said, "Alright then." She paused for a moment, then stood up and said, "I'll take my leave now!"
Narma said, "Nathaniel, you guys see Her Holiness off!"
"That's all right!" After saying this, Mona turned around and transformed into a streak of flowing light, darting out of Progenitor Cave like a flash of lightning.
After Mona left, Nathaniel asked with a hint of confusion, "Master, if we wait until tomorrow to find Jonathan, aren't we giving him a whole day to escape?"
Nathaniel felt that this was simply doing Jonathan a favor.
Originally, Jonathan was captured by Lynn, with absolutely no chance of escape. However, a few of them stirred up a commotion, which resulted in heavy losses. In the end, Jonathan managed to take advantage of the situation and escaped.
Right now, another agreement had been made with Lynn, but no matter how one looked at it, it was all about buying Jonathan an extra day of opportunity.
Nathaniel felt that if he didn't know his master, he would definitely suspect that his master was deliberately going easy on Jonathan.
Narma spoke calmly, "What do you think I should respond to Her Holiness, Nathaniel?"
Nathaniel was taken aback for a moment, then he instantly understood.
From the perspective of a master, it seemed there was no better solution.
Firstly, Lynn would never agree to a game of finders keepers.
On the reverse, Narma would not hand over Jonathan to Lynn.
So, a compromise was reached between the two parties. Narma would give Lynn one day to trace Jonathan. In any case, this was buying precious time for Jonathan through a series of coincidences and circumstances.
So where exactly was Jonathan at this moment?
After escaping from the inn room, Jonathan was now fearless. Amidst the chaos, he even managed to steal a few pieces of clothing from a shop.
This was merely a momentary act as a simple grasp in the air was all it took.
In life, what truly mattered was having food to eat and clothes to wear.
The blood-stained clothes on Jonathan were incredibly uncomfortable. Therefore, he had to change
them. Besides, if he didn't get changed, these blood-stained clothes stuck out like a sore thumb.
Soon after, Jonathan also arrived beside a mountain peak. The peak faced Dead Sea, where the waves crashed against the rocks.
Jonathan stripped off his clothes right in mid-air, then promptly dove into Dead Sea.
This Dead Sea was not the same as the one found in the real world.
The reason why it was called Dead Sea was because it was said that there was a colossal tomb underneath. Hence, this body of water was renamed Dead Sea.
The seawater was icy cold and clean. As Jonathan submerged himself in the sea, the salty water washed over his wounds, giving him a refreshingly stinging sensation!
After Jonathan had cleaned himself, he used the water spirit technique from the water element in Water Mend to heal his wounds.
After this, the wound was irrigated once again. Jonathan then soared above the sea surface, arriving atop a mountain peak.
He picked out a few pieces from the clothes he had snatched that fit him well and wore them.
At this moment, it was noon. The sunlight shone on Jonathan, giving him a refreshing feeling.
The sea breeze blew gently, yet Jonathan found himself lost in deep thought.
What should I do next, and which way should I go?
He still felt unease in his heart. Would Theos come looking for me soon?
The previous few times had indeed left him with significant emotional scars.
"No, I can't stay in one place. I must keep changing my position." Thinking of that, he directly soared into the sky, flying towards the sea.
In Jonathan's heart, he had never imagined that he could idly float in mid-air, freely roaming the blue sky with his own abilities one day. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
But on this day, when he was truly able to achieve this, he had no time for joy. There was no great novelty either, all he could do was to keep running tirelessly!
